Date Feb 02/22/11 6:58 PM Subject: WSBUG: BAWSUG Meeting - March 2nd 2011 From: "Clyde Johnson" Clyde Johnson, BAWSUG President and Senior Network and Systems Administrator, works for a large multinational corporation. He has 15+ years of experience and has been Microsoft Certified since 1998, and is currently a MCITP: Enterprise Administrator, He has recently done an audit of his Windows 7 and Windows XP Group Policies and plans on sharing what he has learned and what he thinks “best practices” are. Whether you are an enterprise administrator , working with much smaller domains, or even a home administrator, I think you will benefit from the discussions I hope to start. We would also like each of you to complete the survey mentioned below: GITCA Global Board Member Survey Microsoft needs to understand your needs as members of your user group so that they can support the technical community to the best of their ability. To help them do this, we are requesting that you complete the survey you will find at http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22BSJ28JHPT/.. It’s quite short – just eleven questions for user group members, but it’s only open until the end of February. It is extremely important to your user group – not only does it tell Microsoft how they are doing and what they should be focusing on, it also helps those responsible for community support inside Microsoft to justify the costs of the UGSS program including the funding they provide directly to the community. Once the survey is closed and they have had time to process the results, they are going to make the findings available for us to review and comment on. our members do not have to register at www.usergroupsupportservices.com to complete the survey, but if they do and complete the survey, they can enter a sweepstake to win one of fifty TechNet Professional (NFR) subscriptions at no cost, subject to the rules you can find at https://www.technicalcommunity.com/InfoCenter/Pages/1HFY11SurveyTerms.aspx Please note – your survey answers do NOT affect your chances of winning a subscription in the sweepstake. Please give Microsoft your honest and candid opinions! Many Thanks,
